Best Procedure for Firming Neck and Chin?

It appears from your question that you don't have a lot of sagging of the neck structures (hanging skin, muscle bands, or fat).  If that is true, then the aging changes that you are seeing are most likely the result of diminished elasticity of the skin, which can cause the skin to crepe and wrinkle, giving the skin a 'chicken'  type of appearance. Loss of bone and fat along the jawline and in the chin itself can also contribute to a tired looking neck. 

When there is significant sagging of the neck structures, surgery is almost always the preferred procedure. But in your case it appears that you might benefit from a combination of less invasive procedures. I begin by assessing the need for filler in the chin and along the jawline. Then I look for ways to improve the tone and quality of the skin. I have had good success tightening and improving the skin of the neck and jawline by using a combination of needle-based radiofrequency and fractional ablative laser resurfacing. We do these procedures simultaneously to restore elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin while we also improve the surface texture and visible signs of sun-damage. The procedure can be done safely and the results are very satisfying. 

First of all, skin care with excellent products such as Sente Neck Firming cream or their new Dermal Contour Pressed Serum during the day (AM) and Biocomplete Serum at bedtime. Check out the entire Sente line of products.
Secondly, there are other modalities of treatment to tighten the neck and chin and face and decollete areas:
1) Thermage - radiofrequency
2) Fraxel Restore - one treatment/month for 4 months (no downtime)
3) Fraxel Repair - one treatment under light general anesthesia; same concept as Restore but can go deeper (about one week downtime.
4) Microneedling/PRP - can be done alone or with other treatments (PRP=platelet rich plasma...your blood is drawn, centrified 10 min and the yellow plasma has all of your own growth factors!!
5) Sunscreen/sunblock daily skincare!!
Research each one for more info
Good luck! 

As we age three things happen we lose the volume, the elasticity and finally the texture. Depending on what area you need defines what approach to take. If you skin only has minor laxity then something such as ulthera or thermage may be a good quick fix. The results of these modalities are modest but are good for maintenance. The best thing is to get an in person/facetime consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps!!

These days there are many options to treat the neck .  Important considerations are the degree of improvement with which you will be happy as well as whether or not you are open to surgery. The only way to know for sure, however, is to be evaluated in-person. Procedures to consider include:
1. a neck lift - will give the best overall improvement by allowing tightening of the neck muscles and removal of excess skin. An energy based device can be used at the same time to "help build up" the collagen support in the skin.
2. nonsurgical treatments -  will not allow for removal of excess skin, but can help tighten or smooth the skin ( i.e. Thermitight, fractionated rf , fraxel , ulthera) .  These can be combined with fillers as well as platelet rich plasma for even more improvement.
Again its best to discuss your goals as well as the realistic expectation of results that can be achieved during your consultation. Also remember, nonsurgical treatments cannot achieve the results of surgical treatments, but may be enough to achieve your goals. 

Many patients don’t realize that a facelift specifically addresses the lower face and upper neck, and not the upper part of the face. The key is to find a great surgeon and communicate very clearly with him or her about your ideal results. Facial liposuction throughout the lower face and neck can help eliminate excess fat deposits that contribute to the signs of aging, but only surgery will be able to tighten the lax facial muscles that are likely the cause of the looser skin in your chin and neck area. Depending on the level of correction that’s needed, you could also include a neck lift.

It’s wonderful that your facial skin is in great condition! For addressing laxity and firmness in the neck and chin area, there are several non-surgical options to consider. Treatments like Facetite use ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, tightening the skin over time. Neuromodulators can help reduce horizontal neck lines, while dermal fillers or biostimulators like Sculptra® can restore volume and support the skin's structure. For those with excess fat under the chin, treatments like Belkyra® (Kybella®) can effectively contour the area. A consultation with an experienced provider will help determine the best approach tailored to your goals.

Good question!
It is a bit hard to tell without photos, as people use the term "firming" for many different things. A facelift is the most powerful tool for most of the issues of the lower neck/chin as it will treat sagging soft tissue and excess skin while sometimes also rejuvenating the appearance of the skin itself, but I completely understand not everyone is ready for or needs a facelift. There are other non-surgical options which can improve the quality of this area. If the issue is changes to the skin from sun damage or fine lines, you could benefit from a chemical peel or laser resurfacing. If the issue is excess skin, there are some in office procedures such as radiofrequency and submental liposuction which may be options.
Hope this helps!

Great question. It's difficult to tell without pictures, but a facelift and/or necklift is a great way to tighten the neck and chin. There are non-surgical options (threading, Ultherapy) but surgery is usually the most powerful way to address those area and have lasting results. Consult with a plastic surgeon for more options tailored to you.

In some, the neck can be contoured using liposculpture alone. However, when there is excess skin and neck muscle laxity a neck lift is needed for optimal results. When ageing is more advanced, to achieve a harmonious facial rejuvenation, the neck, brow or eyes may need to be treated at the same time as a facelift. One of the disadvantages of the so-called "mini-facelift" technique is that they are usually of minimal and short lasting benefit to the neck. If neck improvement is a priority, then the facelift incision will need to be continued behind the ear to allow removal of lax neck skin and tighten the neck muscles. These incisions are carefully hidden within the hair allowing women to wear their hair up. For those with more advanced ageing of the neck, and with those wanting recontouring of the neckline, a submental (front of) neck lift will usually deliver optimal results

Thank you for your
question. Without photos provided, it is rather difficult to tell. I would advise you to schedule a consultation
with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss
all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

Thank you for your question. You have several options both surgical and non. I suggest you seek a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to go over what options best address your goals.  Best of luck!
